Very, very nice.

The door grab rails are a good idea - are they for tea towels?

Also, in th etop pic it looks like your cooker, rolls, slides, pivots forward - what did you do there?

Cheers

Michael

That night photo is amazing.... so is the bus too of course. Always good to see them out being used so well.

Its a kind of Devon interior clone with some personal touches. The cooker cabinet swings out on a hinge post by the cargo door:

Nice, nice work mate.

So I am presuming you stripped it all out again for the body work/spray job?

Looks real nice.

Thanks for nice words - too kind

The awning is called a Khyam Motordome Tourer, yes it has the opening at the back to get in the van - stick Khyam as a search into SSVC and you'll get all sorts of info and opinions on these and other awnings.

I got it from the UK - great time to buy with the exchange rate

Yeah, took me a slow 2 years to build the interior then took it all out whilst the bodywork was being done - tis the only way

Cheers, Sam
